    Basically a good distro + Steam is similar to Windows + Steam, with all the proton stuff and the same (optional) big picture mode as the Steam Deck. It’ll handle setting up most games for you real nicely.

    For a DE personally I love Plasma; xfce or Cinnamon would be my next choices. I don’t understand why so many power users like the modern gnome (Ubuntu default)

    Random other tangent: I really miss the old Big Picture mode. Few things about the new one are good, but most is worse and a few things are relatively broken still. I know I’m in the minority thinking that though

      As a recent penguin I don’t get the gnome thing either. To each their own and whatnot but to me it just reminds me of the weird themes from the early 2000s. I clicked into plasma loved it.

      But, you know, it’s Linux. So I can try gnome and tweak it anytime I want to see if it grows on me. Love it.
